Molecular Subtyping and Genetic Analysis of the Enterohemolysin Gene ( ehxA ) from Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli and Atypical Enteropathogenic E. coli
25 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Analyses of the distribution of virulence factors among different Escherichia coli pathotypes, including Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), may provide some insight into the mechanisms by which different E. coli strains cause disease and the evolution of distinct E. coli types. The aim of this study was to examine the DNA sequence of the gene for enterohemolysin, a plasmid-encoded toxin that readily causes the...
